I agree... but not at the engineering level. This is, IMO, a leadership-level problem. You'll always (hopefully) have an engineering manager or staff-level engineer capable of keep…

I'm sorry but that assertion is a farce in itself in my opinion. I enrolled in the best University in my country for Civil Engineering and dropped after my second semester. I did t…

So what are the speech-impaired to do then? When I'm driving I find it less distracting to adjust the AC or the music via knobs, than to use the voice activated calling function. M…

It's very easy to end up with messy/unusable history or even lose work when you have multiple people working on related parts of a project with outdated branches and limited git kn…

Buddy you seem to think I don't for the most part agree with you. That couldn't be more far from the truth! Yes if you are in that situation that might be your only choice, or at t…

While I don't particularly agree with OP's premise that only education can solve this problem, it can also be argued that the situation you describe is a result of a set of choices…

I'm gonna piggyback on your comment to ask a question I'm not clear on. Am I correct in that if I don't set a recovery email there is absolutely no way for anyone to get access to …

That is a total strawman argument buddy. The argument "gun ownership serves as a deterrent of crime and has been known to spoil criminal endeavours, therefore we should allow citiz…

To make matters worse a lot of the times those situations are direct results of cultural and biological differences between the sexes. Every single woman I've ever heard negotiate …

But vim is really not that hard to use. The initial learning curve might be steep, but as a whole vim is in general easy to use once you 'grok' it. Anyways I do agree with you on o…

This is of course my personal opinion, but I think you're suffering from exactly what OP mentions. I'm not trying to be conflictive or anything, but this is in my experience the sa…

By that logic then it makes even more sense to use the credit card over both cash and coin. If the transaction price is getting bundled into the overall price of the article I'm bu…

As a self taught guitar/piano player, programmer, and investment trader I couldn't agree more. I learnt by reading and playing/coding/investing as much as I could when I could. As …

Panamanian here. > Without it, Noriega would certainly still be in power. That's debatable. Thankfully the US took care of the situation efficiently, but the general climate was po…

Yep, we have a junior dev working on customization and integration with SAP. She needs help every once so I sometimes help her out with the more complicated stuff, but in general s…

Their products are general enough to be easily customized by a couple of devs (or even only one) for very specific use cases. They're also easily integrated with market leading erp…

Damn. That is even worse. To me DNF means either Duke Nukem Forever or Did Not Finish. I'd rather not chuckle every time I mean to update a package... :)

Well I've had more stability issues in OSX (two personal laptops, a work laptop, and a work iMac), than my goto personal setup... Debian Unstable. Personally Debian Sid is my top c…

He's promotion quinoa as a rice replacement. I approve of the sentiment that rice is shitty and quinoa (I love quinoa cus-cus) is better, but it has nothing to do at all with the a…

I'm gonna regurgitate what everyone is saying. Stop learning "because learning" and start learning to complete a project/challenge. It's like fighting, playing a sport, or writing …

Well you're in for a world of pain my brother. Here's a list of other brands that do this: HP, Toshiba, Dell, et al. The excuse they give, albeit stupid and useless IMO, is a valid…

The fact that you believe I'm attacking you tells me all I need to know. I'm not protesting a single thing. You are. I'm telling you why people - myself included - do not agree wit…

> That's complete bullshit. Why? Because you say you say so? You got down-voted because you equated the word "Gun" to "Murder" and "Kill". That is what I call bullshit, and fear-mo…

You might not have said the words (and I never said you did, for the record) but you're giving the word "gun" an equal connotation as per your "kill" and "genocide" references. So,…
